Democrat Disaster: Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich Threatens Creation of Third Party
Breitbart ^ | 11-12-2016 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 11/13/2016 6:43:25 AM PST by brucedickinson

Bill Clinton former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich talked about creating a third party if the Democratic Party does not move in a more progressive direction.

“The Democratic Party can no longer be the same; it has been repudiated,” Reich said on a conference call with members from the progressive grassroots group Democracy for America.

“This has been a huge refutation of establishment politics, and the political organization has got to be changed. … If the Democratic Party can’t do it, we’ll do it through a third party.”

The Democratic Party is in an all-out civil war between the more progressive wing of the party and the more corporate wing of the party.

Some in the party are blaming progressives who supported Bernie Sanders for refusing to rally behind Hillary Clinton.

“The Sanders people should be mad at themselves,” said one well-connected Democratic strategist to the Hill. “If they had come out to vote, Donald Trump wouldn’t be president.”

I want to help them create their new party- I'm helpful like that. I think their flag should include a penis, a pentagram, the chemical symbol for Prozac, and maybe we'll put a portrait of Cesar Chavez in their too why not. My god, I'm a modern-day Betsy Ross

In case you were wondering...

The new party is guaranteed to be short on ideas, will have little influence.

The truth is that Hillary Clinton was bought and paid for by foreign governments like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, that aren’t very ‘progressive’ when it comes to LGBT people or women.

Then there’s Goldman Sachs, the major stockholders of a company Hillary used to be on the board of, Wal-Mart. The list of big business supporters of Hillary is endless from Haim Saban of Univision and so many more.

The Democrats are a Corporatist Uniparty, there’s no doubt about that.

I hope Donald Trump can clean up the Corporatist control of the Republicans as in Ryan and McConnell.

Rob Walton and the other progeny of Sam Walton coughed up 700-thousand for Hillary and the Democrats.
